South Texas Surgical Hospital

South Texas Surgical Hospital is a specialty surgical hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas focused on inpatient and outpatient procedural care rather than drug development. The facility has emphasized orthopedic, spine, neurosurgery, pain management, cardiology, and ENT services, and has operated an affiliated outpatient center. Historically it was a physician-owned hospital and has also been referred to as South Texas Spine & Surgical Hospital. In April 2023, CHRISTUS Spohn Health System announced that South Texas Surgical Hospital had joined the system and would be renamed CHRISTUS Surgical Hospital. The organization is therefore best characterized as a commercial healthcare delivery asset, not a biotech or pharmaceutical developer.
